Comments Thread For: Jacobs: Golovkin's Power Isn't What It Was Made Out to Be

[aboutfkntime]

apparently more effective than Jacobs!! Three judges and most of boxing press thought so..lol!!

one guy was a supposed destroyer, and HUGE favorite

the other guy was a boxer/puncher with a LOT to prove

both of those things are no longer true

one guy got exposed, and the other guy got elevated

the guy who got elevated, was more effective than the guy who got exposed

and supporting the judges decision is fine, IF your guy wins..... I wonder if you were so gracious with Ward?

you don't need to answer that question

now everyone knows why they avoided Lara

Controversial decision aside, Hopkins in his prime would have no problems with ggg; and Ward would've beaten the dog**** out of him at 168. That much should be crystal clear to even the most ardent ggg fans. Btw im not a ggg hater ( I think he is pretty good), just speaking the truth.

I was at the fight yesterday. I had GGG winning a close fight. I thought Jacobs wasn't busy enough earlier in the fight and then started to let his hands go a little bit more. Even though i scored the fight for GGG, I gained a lot of respect for Jacobs.
I also think that some people gave a few rounds to Jacobs because he was outperforming expectations.

But anyway it was a good night for boxing. I hope they fight again by next year.

[i'm a fun haver]

Came in the ring that heavy just to be on the backfoot, not to stand and throw.
He obviously felt that he needed extra weight because of GGG's power

[Nightfall]

Why was Jacobs on the backfoot so much of the fight then?

idiot its called fight plan movement. did u see lil G on his back foot at times and getting popped upside his head ? i did

[hugh grant]

And you aren't chinny. The o nly people saying g he was chinny were people who didn't want GGG to get credit.
Why talk about jacoibs being chinny rather than he has koed his last 12 opponents!?

[turnedup]

what Tim Bradley situation? cuz if you're referring to when Tim got a decision against Pacquiao you're wrong. the one who got the "gift" last night was GGG.

You've been at this since 12:28 am last, aren't you tired of saying the same bullshh yet? The fight was close but to say it was a gift decision? C'mon man. We get it, you wanted Jacobs to win, he didn't at best he could've gotten a draw had he won the 12th, he didn't, he went conservative, he's not the first or the last fighter to do it. Get over your emotional shhh bruh its very unbecoming. Trying to discredit the man who won because it doesn't suit your agenda is also discrediting the guy who gave it his all and clearly came up short. The boxing records are set, you want to see it again? Then talk about that but all this saltiness is just tacky as fk. I'll give 10,000 to one odds that Jacobs would beat the dog shh out of anyone else at 160 but he didn't win the fight last night so get over it.

[Hype job]

Face GGG rehydrating to within 5 pounds of his weight and then say that b1tch. He went easy on you.

The same people who are now saying Golovkin got a gift decision, one way or another ALL OF US expected some sort of cry baby bullshh regardless of what the outcome was. Jacobs didn't get put to sleep and that alone means he won to some.

Yeah, it's not even really debateable at this point. I agree that he's pretty good, but the lack of talent in that division can't be stressed enough. Jack and Degale both would've likeky got him at 168 imo. But I have a feeling he'll be retiring without a move up.

There's no way he's going to fight those bigger fighters after what I saw last night. A solid 6'0 -6'1 with more than 70" reach is too much for him. Danny doesn't stand on solid legs, imagine if that was Jack in there?
